Servings: 6 | Prep Time: 35 Minutes | Cook Time: 20 Minutes

It is hard not to make a golden arches joke here. This recipe nicely replicates a famous hot apple pie and is a great specialty desert.

Ingredients:

Shell:

1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour

6 tablespoons cold butter

1/4 cup ice water

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon sugar

Filling:

2 cups peeled apples

1/2 cup apple cider

1/4 cup sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

Zest and juice of 1 lemon

Pinch of salt

2 tablespoons flour

Instructions:

1.       Chop apples into half inch squares.

2.      Combine the flour, salt, and sugar using a mixer or food processor.

3.      Cut butter into chunks and mix in, then drizzle in ice water, mix together until dough barely holds together.

4.      Flour a cutting board and form 6 inch circles from the dough.

5.      Wrap each circle in plastic wrap and refrigerate for half an hour.

6.       While the circles refrigerate warm a pan to medium heat.

7.      Add apples, cider, zest, juice, and salt; cook the mixture until it starts to bubble.

8.      Cook the mixture for about 15 minutes, then stir in the flour and cook for and additional minute; set aside to cool.

9.      Remove the dough circles from the fridge and roll them out until they are about double their original size.

10.   Cut the new circles in half and spoon in about one third cup of filling.

11.   Fold the dough over the filling and close it using the prongs of a fork.

12.   Repeat this step until all of your dough and filling has been used.

13.   Bake using your Philips at 320 degrees for 20 minutes, turning half way through.
